Reza Kahlili, author of the recent "A Time to Betray", The Astonishing Double Life of a CIA Agent Inside the Revolutionary Guards of Iran.," which describes his experiences working for the CIA in Iran after the 1979 revolution, works tirelessly on behalf of the people of Iran and against the current regime of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

"The people of Iran desperately want democracy and freedom. We need to listen to them — and we need to speak for them. Their voices are being suffocated inside prison walls the mullahs have built," says Kahlili.

Mr. Kahlili will be joined at the press conference by Marina Nemat, whose chilling experiences in Iran's infamous Evin prison are documented in her novel 'Prisoner of Tehran'.
